Liverpool are currently facing a unique challenge regarding three of their key players, Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, all of whom are in the final year of their contracts.
Despite the team’s strong performance under new manager Arne Slot, with Liverpool now second in the league, discussions around the future of these players have been constant.
According to Football Insider, Alexander-Arnold is open to signing a new contract with Liverpool but only if the club aligns with his ambitions.
The right-back is focused on winning more trophies and wants assurance that the club will bring in top talent during transfer windows to remain competitive.
Although the England international is having a successful season, helping him secure a spot with the national team, interest from Real Madrid still lingers.
The Spanish giants could potentially sign a pre-contract agreement with him as early as January.
The quiet summer transfer window at Liverpool, with only Federico Chiesa joining the squad, may have concerned Alexander-Arnold, especially as other Premier League clubs have invested heavily to strengthen their teams.
Determined to add more silverware to his Premier League and Champions League titles, Alexander-Arnold wants Liverpool to match his ambition.
His contract renewal is seen as crucial for the Reds, and any delay could give Real Madrid the confidence to make a move for the defender.
